  TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 4. Bonfire of the Verities. Mark Greif.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
But if Eric is the single artificer of the world, he relies too much on his intimacy with technological extensions of his consciousness.
And as if sensing that this line of quasi-philosophical explanation is going nowhere, the novel lapses from unexplained events into that oldest of narrative tricks, the theology for which the novel was made -- predestination -- as first we, then Eric, begin to foresee his death.
In the mouth of Eric's "chief of theory," however, a semi-academic named Vija Kinski, the book repeats watery versions of the stupidest analyses of the present, which are so unmindful of real conditions as to be neither of the left nor the right.

Eric is stunned, in shock, showing a lot of pain; Funboy grabs a big bag of coke and just inhales it, just going for it." It seems surprising that Eric's wounds aren't healing - this is because of the Skull Cowboy's warning (see above) - he had been 'working for the living' in helping Darla.

 Amazon.ca: Eric: Books: Terry Pratchett   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Eric is a singularly inept sorcerer who conjures up an even more inept wizard, Rincewind, and a sentient (also treacherous, vindictive, and unruly) footlocker named, of course, the Luggage.
The trouble with the novel Eric, is that it was originally printed as a graphic novel, with paragraphs accompanied with large illustrations by Josh Kirby, and as such made much more sense (and had a much lighter tone than a normal Discworld book did).
Eric is a play on the Faust concept; you can tell because the word Faust is crossed out and replaced with Eric right there on the cover of the book.
